OEM 19" wheels in a different colour

[stugee106]

Couldn't hold off any longer, new wheels fitted and so much nicer that the original diamond cut style.

Wheels back and look better than I expected.

They look amazing! What was the paint code & finish?

@stugee106 said in post #6 they were getting smoked chrome colour. I suspect the finish is a powder coated finish.

Thanks, although it doesn’t really help! I wanted to know the paint code for the colour & finish i.e. matt, gloss, etc.

I think my smoked chrome ones on the previous page were gloss black with 6 or 7 passes of chrome over the top if that's any use?

As @MaverickCoop said, the wheels were powdercoated gloss black with a chrome paint spray applied. The more coats of the chrome spray, the lighter the silver colour. Actually can't believe how good they look on the flesh, pictures do not do them justice!

They do look awesome, don't scratch them

Bit the bullet and won these on eBay yesterday. Anyone want to buy a set of 18' machined performance alloys.

Oh nice! Not keeping the 18s for the winter?

No, only just put 2 Michelin PS4 on the front, and now have to buy 4 new tyres for these, so I need to recoup some money.

I went gloss black after the lacquer started to peel on a couple of my wheels - they look far better than I was expecting.

I had mine done gloss black too. Look great!

That looks stunning, I don't mind the original finish on the Cupra 19s but that's taken them to a new level. You can actually see the details of the wheel now.

I was going to get 2 of my 19s redone as OEM (two little kerb marks added by the previous owner) but you've got me thinking now....

Smoked chrome powder coat is the way to go; go on, do it!
